Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients at supermarkets in the baking aisle, the wholefoods section, and the fresh produce market; if needed, use baker’s yeast as a substitute for fresh yeast.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm water
- Add the brown sugar and mix well
- Add the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ and flax seeds
- Gradually mix in the whole wheat flour until you have a smooth dough
- Add more all-purpose flour a little at a time until the dough comes away from your hands but is still soft
- Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface
- Knead vigorously for about 10 to 15 minutes, until smooth and elastic
- Place the dough in a lightly greased or floured bowl, cover with a cloth and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 to 2 hours)
- After rising, shape the loaves as desired
- Arrange the shaped loaves in a loaf tin previously greased and floured or lined with parchment paper
- Cover the loaves again with a cloth and leave to rise for another 30 to 60 minutes
- Preheat the oven to 200°C
- Bake the loaves in the preheated oven at 200°C for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. The time may vary depending on the oven
- Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving
